About this program

Everything you need to know about sba loan for daycare in Albuquerque.

Childcare is one of the SBA's most-funded industries — long, stable revenue, regulated capacity, and real estate that anchors the loan. Vanward Financial structures SBA 7(a) and 504 loans for Albuquerque daycares, preschools, Montessori programs, and after-school concepts. Use proceeds for acquisitions of existing licensed centers, ground-up construction or build-out, equipment and playground installation, working capital, and refinance of high-rate acquisition debt. Our lender network includes childcare-specialty SBA banks who know NM CYFD licensing requirements and underwrite to enrollment-based revenue.

SBA 7(a) for daycare acquisitions

100% acquisition financing for licensed daycare centers — including goodwill, equipment, working capital, and closing costs. 10-year amortization typical, 25 years when real estate is included.

SBA 504 for childcare real estate

Buying or building your facility? SBA 504 offers 10% down, 25-year terms, and below-market fixed rates — typically the cheapest debt available for owner-occupied childcare CRE.

Build-out, equipment, and playground financing

Tenant improvements, classroom furniture, playgrounds, fencing, security systems, and licensing-required infrastructure all qualify under SBA build-out and equipment financing.
